BIRCHBOX March 2012 | Teen Vogue Birchbox Contents and Review

BirchBox offered an optional Teen Vogue version this month in place of the regular Birchbox and I’m glad I chose to go for it! I would have loved to try theOne Love Organics Skin Savior Waterless Beauty Balm which was available in some of the regular boxes – but the Teen Vogue box is quite delightful and Eva Chen’s party-ready picks will even appeal to those who are long past their teens.

Note: I wish I would get my boxes a bit earlier to review, but

About Birchbox: Get 4-5 hand-picked deluxe beauty and lifestyle samples delivered to your door for $10 per month. This is my favorite sampling program and I love the gourmet samples!

CONTENTS: Kate Spade New York Twirl (Sample Vial | Full Size $80/3.4fl.oz.). Fruity floral with a cheerful flirty vibe. A very youthful fragrance that would be lovely during the warmer months ahead.

Essie Luxeffects Nail Polish in A Cut Above (Full Size $8). DBP, toulene and formaldehyde-free way to add some bling to your mani-pedi. The shade I received was As Gold as it Gets which was a medium yellow gold flecked glitter. Not my thing, but would add (more) personality to the season’s brights.

Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint in Lucky (Full Size $24). User-friendly chubby lip pencils are a goofproof way to lasting, moisturizing color. Lucky is a semi-matte light pink, which isn’t a color I would wear very often, but these (other shades available) are great to throw in your bag for a pretty quick lip.
